Answer 3

It's like this (27a^-9)^-2/3

Answer 4

and: 6x^(3/2)

Answer 5

\[6x^{3/2} = \sqrt{(6x)^3}\]
exponents raised to other exponents are multiplied if I remembered correctly so\[(27a^{-9})^{-2/3}= 27a^{(-9)(-2/3)} = 27a^{6}\]

Answer 6

Ah okay I think I understand it a lot better now, thank you ^_^
